Spring 2013

Spring 2013 is here and some are ready and like always some are not.

Spring to me is the time of the year to warm up from winter and stretch the bones going into summer. Time to get myself in bikini shape as it were.

Spring is also the time of the year my mind slips back into the fond memories of my youth. Time when I was younger, stronger, and a lot less gray. The time in a young mans life when I was mobile, fun loving and carefree.

What am I talking about?
Spring Tour 1989 to be specific.

Atlanta to Greensboro to Pittsburgh to ..........you get the picture.

Look for a while at the China Cat sunflower,
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.
Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed Cheshire,
like a diamond-eye jack.
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle,
To a double-E waterfall over my back.
Comic book colors on a violin river Cryin' Leonardo,
Words from out a silk trombone.
I rang a silent bell,
beneath a shower of pearls,
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee.

The past is the past.
The future is now.
Enjoy the ride before it is all too late.

Just A Little Taste

89 Degrees on Saturday and 91 on Sunday.

Just a little taste of what we always seem to forget.
Summertime heat, and the humidity wasn't even very high.

Just for laughs turn on the a/c this weekend and make sure it all sounds good and works just as well. If not call and make an appointment that is good for you and not when it HAS to be fixed.

Just a little advice.

Spent an afternoon a little while back with Ted. After throwing a couple of whiting back Ted decided we should keep em.

Fish and chips that night. Quite tasty as I recall.

Here is Trixie the tree climbing dachshunds. She will chase a lizard to the edge of the earth and God help you if she gets out of the house for one split second without a leash.
She will run, run and run some more. Chasing her from yard to yard and if I can see properly, I think I see a smirk on her face as she darts 2 feet beyond my grasp.

March 26 and we will be in the 40's tonight. Open up and enjoy it, it may end real fast, as we all saw and felt this last weekend.

Chasin dogs,
Tim

Leftover Corned Beef

I had a few emails that you all like to see the before and after photos.

This was a nice transformation from sad to glad last week.
Cool temps and Rinaldis lunch. Can't ask for better than that.

Can't forget to look at the outside unit too.

The days of changing out just an air handler or just a condenser are days of old. Code says we have to change out both with the 410A refrigerant.

 We usually replace the copper line set too. The old systems ran a #300 head pressure, the new equipment may be as high as #600.
That's a lot of pressure to pass through 30 to 50 year old copper.

If someone is telling you can just change one piece of your system or no need to change the copper or if permits are not needed, well then good luck. If corners are being cut there I can just imagine what's going on in your attic.

March is almost over with and spring-summer will be here very soon. It is that time of the year to get your system a "Springtime Awakening".

Give us a call at 772-283-7222 and Ana will schedule a time for us to slip on over and do the right thing.
Full washing and waxing, drain pans and lines full cleaning, batteries in the stats, return air filters and all the other good stuff we do.

If by some reason or another you don't get Ana and you do get a funny noise it just may be Jada or Trixie.

Bear with us, we have been working very hard on their phone skills but it's tough because they are cats and dogs you know.

Enjoying leftovers,
Tim

Braggin Rights

Air handlers, condensers, line sets and ladders oh my.

I was told I am cocky.

I can be when we do jobs like this.

25 inspections in a row w/o a problem. Is your company even pulling a permit?

New Car

Let it ride, ride, ride.

See ya on the sweet side,

Christmas Eve 2012

It's Christmas eve and the feeling is a lot different than years past.
The Boys are teenagers and not as good as they were on previous years, not that they are bad or anything, but it's you know, different.

Big dinner tonight BBQ NY strips, mashed potatoes, green beans, and garlic soup.
I have never made garlic soup and it was sooooooo good. It reminds me of a bowl I had in the late 80's in a restaurant in Miami called El Cid.

So everyone off early to bed tonight because our ole red suited friend will be stopping by and as we all know.
NO PEEKING

Happy Holidays

Dogs, Laccross and Cars

Here is our extra family car Sam has been driving for a while and that Ted has been learning to drive in.
Reliable.
Good on gas.
Paid for.

 This weekends lacrosse tournament is in west Deefrield Beach and it is a 7 on 7 tourny.
The field is about half the size and it is fast paced and high scoring.
A lot of your regular basics for lacrosse is thrown by the wayside, they are so different that Ted the long stick defender went down the field and scored!
That drew a large cheer from the crowd.

 

 

 

 Here is a very red eyed (I tried to delete it) picture of Trixie and Charlie. Trixie keeps ALL OF US people and pets on our toes. She is a real scamp but cute as they come.

Here is another view of our extra family car after it battled a SUV. Sam who was not hurt in the least rear-ended a red SUV with a rack on top on Cove Road in front of Murry Middle school.
After pulling off the road the other car calmly drove away.
Car is totaled and we just put fresh tires and brakes last month.
Good times bad times, you know we had our share.

Tough on Sam because he has a split schedule and does not go to school till 11:30am and then has IRSC classes at night.
Can anyone yell TAXI.
